homelessness is not a competition
This blog was meant to be a comment on the blog about the university students who chose to expose themselves to some first hand experiences with homelessness. But I can't find their blog.

Which is dearer?
Your person or your goods,
Which is worth more?
Gain or loss,
Which is the greater bane?

Even though I made it out of Victoria last June, I can't seem to get of Victoria on the homelessnation site *boo hoo* *sniff* *sniff* So please Help! Get me outa here, please !!! I'm in doggie town now i.e. Toronto! *smile*
Also, because I'm stuck in
Victoria (in the homelessnation website) even though I moved to doggie town, Toronto, I can't edit my profile either *boo hoo*
Its good to read that you are still staying connect with HN
I kinda miss our short conversation in passings
I'm no able to leave a message in the designated place to say that I don't have access to my mail box. Also, I got a "no access to this page" when I tried to log out around five minutes ago, then I was mysteriously logged out. I really hope this stuff gets up and running soon.
Oh fuck!!! I just lost a really long blog I typed! Drat & double drat!!! Don't know if I have enough time to re-type it - may do half & get back to it tomorrow...

Communication is a two way street so the person one is trying to communicate with has to be receptive & want to understand. And if that's not the case, then what's happening is manipulation. As a rule of thumb, if it ain't communication, it's manipulation. There are also people who simply can't be reached & one also has to accept this fact.
Kinda wonder how it would work if we asked each other if & why we are angry - if & why we are. In an ideal world, I suspect that it would clear the air. Maybe. I've no idea.
It's not easy to cope with a curve ball & life tosses out lots of those. But what does one learn from a powder puff journey?
Life's a dream that can feel like a nightmare a lot of the time, so it's a relief to wake up, even though it can be scary to discover that nothings what ya thought it was & no ones' who you thought they were. Illusions all - based on assumptions.
If I knew then what I know now, I may not have brought any more suffering into the world. But of course we're all deluded with the false notionthat conditions will imlprove even while they're getting worse all the time.
If women stopped having kids & there was a huge decline in the birth rate, our governments would surely panic. There'd be no one to exploit so they'd have to reconsider what to do with the economy.
I think that way back in the 70's women were encouraged to raise their own kids - like paid a better wage - in B.C.
My words are very easy to understand & very easy to put into practice, yet no one in the world can understand them or put them into practice.

My obsession to be understood came to light once I recognized how often (perhaps most often) it was not even a remote possibility. After that I discovered how letting to yielded so much more than what I gave up. Whew!
There's something amusing about walking around imaging one is understood when it's not really happening at all but I can't really articulate it at the moment.
Have a great summer everyone!
